because there were 83 million cents minted in 1923 but only 7 million in 1922. In addition, a few of the cents minted in 1922 are missing the mintmark. This is one of the most popular error coins in existence - scarce enough that you are unlikely to ever own one yet common enough that you can always hope to.

There were 88.324 million 1948 British Sixpences minted and only 40.399 million 1951 Sixpences minted, so the 1951 coin is comparatively rarer than the 1948 coin.
